Since they're not that expensive, just replace. |

"Next thing is to check if the starting cap. is going South.
Since they're not that expensive, just replace." he said "labored and occasional screech" does that sound like a starting problem ?????? why dont we throw a new thermostat and put some freon in it too while were at it oh! and dont forget to wash the coils too , you dont make anymore sense here than you do over in alt.hvac Note to OP, yes it sounds like bearings , direct drive i assume since you said it has no oil ports , Tony Hwang wrote: Larry T.

If the latter take off the belt and check the blower for free turning. If the bearings are bad there are standard replacements that are easily done. For direct drive there are severasl online sources for whatever new component you need. HTH Joe |

Since they're not that expensive, just replace. Starting cap? Why would a residential air handler be equiped with a start capacitor? A standard squirrel cage blower motor usually has only a run capacitor. The newer high tech units have a very expensive variable speed motor. [8~{} Uncle Monster |

Oil if found. Some of the older "non-oilable" blower motors were oilable. I nursed my old Carrier (actually a Bryant) for 20 years.
